“It’s very unpredictable and I can imagine for next season the top squads, because we are speaking about the top teams, we are not speaking about fragile squads that need a complete change we are speaking about top squads.

“And you can imagine top squads with a few new players you can imagine that next season everyone of the title contenders is going to be very, very strong.

It is England, competition is stiff. Next year will be different. Who will be at the top? No one knows.
